The most surprising part isn’t the pain—it’s the moment the craving disappeared. Rochelle sits with us and tells a story many hide: childhood molestation, a decades-long addiction that felt like relief until it wasn’t, and the day she chose a police car over another hit. What follows is not a miracle montage but a set of small, relentless choices—thirty days of prayer in county, six months of structure, and a first year built around meetings, mentors, and learning to trust quiet again.

We trace the ripple effects of early harm into adult life: hypervigilance with kids, guilt over sending her children to safer homes, and the complicated love that still shows up for family who couldn’t show up for her. Rochelle is candid about triggers, boundaries, and the humility of “one day at a time.” She talks about getting baptized high and still being met by grace, about discovering she was emotionally stuck at twelve and deciding to bring that younger girl forward instead of leaving her behind. There’s laughter here too—a frank honesty about dentures, math classes that won’t quit, and the way a partner’s steady love can rewrite the meaning of touch.

We move from survival to service. Rochelle returns to school for human services, earns a substance abuse certificate, and lays out plans for a recovery home focused on people leaving prison—IDs, stability, dignity, and a path back to community. We talk about protecting children, refusing to be bystanders, and practicing the B3U ethos: burn the lies, break the cycles, become unstoppable. If you’ve ever felt numb just to make it through, this conversation offers a map back to yourself—realistic, faith-filled, and fiercely hopeful.
